Boomer was rather proud of himself for coming up with the term ‘Buck Ball’ when describing how the Baltimore Orioles’ style emulates that of their manager, Buck Showalter – a man the Booms has grown quite fond of.

Regardless of who you root for, you can’t argue that the Orioles-Yankees ALDS has been a very well-managed series. On both a sad and admirable note, Joe Giradi’s father passed away last Saturday in his home town of Peroia, Illinois.
